Sikkim standoff: India has trampled upon Panchsheel pact, claims China
China asked India to
correct mistakes and pull back troops from Chicken's Neck
Latest
news : Upping the ante on the Sikkim
standoff, China on Wednesday accused India of "trampling" on
the Panchsheel principles and asked New Delhi to "correct its
mistakes" as soon as possible by pulling back troops.
China also claimed that India was
"misleading the public" by saying that Chinese troops are building a
road close to the Chicken's Neck in the Sikkim sector which could endanger
India's access to its north-eastern states.
"I want to point that the
relevant actions by the Indian side violated the purposes and principles of the
UN Charter in defiance of the international law and international norms. As we
all know in 1950s China, India and Myanmar proposed the five principles
(Panchsheel) of co-existence," Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Gen
Shuang told reporters here.
"However to the surprise of
everyone, the Indian side trampled on the basic norms governing the
international relations proposed by itself by illegally crossing into other
country's territory," he said.
